   HONORING MARIAH COLLINS AND HANNAH McJESSY FOR THEIR LIFE-SAVING 
                                EFFORTS

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. BRAD R. WENSTRUP

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, October 1, 2019

  Mr. WENSTRUP. Madam Speaker, I rise to honor and thank University of 
Cincinnati nursing students Mariah Collins and Hannah McJessy for their 
life-saving assistance to the victim of a tragic drive-by shooting on 
Short Vine Street in April.
  Mariah and Hannah were walking on Short Vine Street when the shooting 
occurred. After witnessing a man fall to the ground, they leapt into 
action and used a belt from a bystander as a tourniquet to slow the 
victim's bleeding until he was able to be transported to UC Medical 
Center for care.
  Mariah and Hannah are heroes. I am proud to see them recognized for 
their extraordinary courage and actions. I can think of no two 
recipients more deserving of the certificate of merit from the American 
Red Cross than these two outstanding women and future nurses.
  I wish them both the best of luck in their medical careers.

                          ____________________
